1. Data Protection at a Glance
General Information
The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to me. I therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). This privacy policy informs you about the most important aspects of data processing within the framework of my website.
Data Collection on This Website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by me, the website operator:
Dr. Susanne Schwinghammer
Schanzstraße 46/39, A-1150 Vienna
Phone: +43 680 2366 455
Email: s.schwinghammer@icloud.com
How is your data collected?
The use of my website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on my pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Other data are collected automatically by my IT systems when you visit the website. These are primarily technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). The collection of these data occurs automatically as soon as you enter the website.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
What do I use your data for?
Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior.
In accordance with legal requirements (particularly pursuant to § 132 BAO), certain personal data such as name, address, and invoice information are stored for accounting purposes for a duration of seven years. In line with the tax retention obligation in Austria, I am required to store personal data even after the termination of an active business relationship to the legally prescribed extent.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time free of charge. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of these data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time.
If you suspect that there are violations of data protection laws in the processing of your data, you have the option to contact me directly at s.schwinghammer@icloud.com to resolve the issue.
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
